Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!
In this beautiful homily for the Feast of the Conception of the Mother of God by Saints Joachim and Anna, we meditate on the quiet miracle that unfolded not before crowds but within the hiddenness of two faithful hearts. This message speaks deeply to anyone who has ever waited—waited for healing, for peace, for clarity, for prayers to be answered.

Through the story of Joachim and Anna, we learn that God hears long prayers. His silence is never absence. His timing is never late. And His preparations are always more beautiful than we imagine.

This reflection invites us to trust the slow, gentle work of God, who transforms sorrow, lifts burdens, and opens doors no one else can open. As He prepared Mary to become the Mother of the Savior, He is preparing each of us to receive His grace more deeply.

May Saint Anna and Saint Joachim pray for us and teach us perseverance, patience, and hope.
